Lizzy's Film Reviews

這部片由塞斯羅根(Seth Rogen)與詹姆斯法蘭科(James Franco)主演，編劇與製作班底是「男孩我最壞」(Superbad)的原班人馬──塞斯羅根、Evan Goldberg與Judd Apatow，主軸雖然與「男孩我最壞」類似，講的是感人的男性情誼，卻融入了嗑藥劇情與大量動作片元素。雖然有不少缺點，大致說來還算不錯，尤其詹姆斯法蘭科幾乎救起了整部片。



25歲的Dale﹝塞斯羅根﹞是個負責送傳票的(process server)，他常常得想出一些特別的方式、穿上不同的服裝，讓他得以在收件人沒有防備的狀況下，收下傳票。Dale與做毒品交易的Saul﹝詹姆斯法蘭科﹞是好友，有天Saul給Dale一款城裡只有他有貨的極品毒品：Pineapple Express，之後Dale送傳票給毒品大王﹝Gary Cole﹞，卻目睹了一樁殺人案，嚇壞了的Dale慌忙逃走之餘，不慎掉了一點Pineapple Express在現場，於是Dale與Saul展開了一場大逃亡，不過他們邊逃邊吸大麻，太high之餘有時根本分不清什麼是真的、什麼又是自己太神經質的幻覺。兩人向中游毒販Red﹝Danny McBride﹞探風聲並求援，歷經飛車追逐、槍戰、打鬥等等混亂。





本片的缺點有幾個：第三段的打鬥槍戰太久讓人悶，笑點比不上「男孩我最壞」與「好孕臨門」等等，而且開場那段可能會讓你以為租錯片了的戲，實在太好笑﹝Bill Hader飾演的軍人真是太強了，請看他的嘴﹞，以至於後面的劇情跟不上那樣的高度。自從看了開頭，我到現在都忘不掉Bill Hader的嘴。

不過這些缺點不打緊，因為整部片被詹姆斯法蘭科飾演的Saul給救活了，他演的Saul是自從「開放的美國學府」裡的Jeff Spicoli以來，最可愛最討喜最讓人記憶深刻的毒蟲。Saul是個單純、天真、傻氣的毒販，一個讓人打從心裡喜歡的毒販，當他一笑，你真的會認為這世界充滿陽光、人性本善﹝不知道是因為Saul真正天真，還是因為嗑藥嗑過頭了﹞，而他對毒品充滿感情的描述，真讓人以為毒品是他一生的真愛，他是全世界最誠懇的銷售員，他真正相信自己賣的產品。Saul要賺錢養自己與最愛的祖母，同時也很渴望友情，例如他希望Dale這位客人可以做他朋友、多留下來陪他的時候，很難不被Saul的單純而感動哪。如果奧斯卡是我家開的，一定會提名詹姆斯法蘭科。另外，Danny McBride也帶來了很精采的表演，我想不久的將來他也能在喜劇世界有很好的發展，另外提一下，他是「開麥拉驚魂」裡面負責爆破的那人。







整部片除了「男性情誼真偉大」以外，沒甚麼重點，不過Dale與Saul這兩個每天都在茫的渾人，彼此的友情頗讓人感動。Dale的工作──送傳票，常常讓他成為別人討厭的對象，小他好幾歲的高中生女友，心理上又比他成熟許多，Dale其實是個孤單又長不大的男生，然而當他與Saul一起的時候，兩人像是真正的伴侶，互相照顧，偶爾拌嘴，而且兩人智識上的程度顯然比較接近…總之倆人的男性情誼真是既好笑又令人感動。



動作場景部分，最值得一提的就是飛車追逐那段了。在這兒我不爆雷，各位看了就知道，以後每回看到其他電影的飛車追逐，你大概都會再想起「菠蘿快遞」。



導演David Gordon Green之前拍的都是些小眾藝術電影，接下「菠蘿快遞」的導演筒頗讓人驚訝，不過他的背景倒是為這部嗑藥喜劇帶來一些美感，例如兩位男主角在樹林裡的那段既好笑又美麗。



最後聊一下，這部片是在鼓勵大麻吸食嗎？看你問到誰，若問到反對吸食大麻的製作人Judd Apatow，他會說這部片讓觀眾明白，high的時候由於腦袋不清楚，會多麼無法運作、面對眼前的問題；但支持大麻的塞斯羅根則會說，看完這部片應該會讓大家想去哈一口。至於我哩，我認為大麻應該合法。我這輩子沒抽菸、不酗酒、從沒有抽過大麻，也不準備吸大麻。但是對於別人要不要殘害自己的身體，我一丁點意見都沒有。只是，如果菸酒是合法的，那我認為大麻也應該合法，畢竟抽菸會讓其他無辜的人吸入致癌物質，喝完酒出來鬧事打死人或開車撞死人的酒鬼天天有，而大麻哩，只要吸的時候乖乖待在房間裡幻想愛與和平，我才不管他要吸多少。大麻對人或許不好﹝跟菸酒一樣﹞，但至少應該合法吧，這樣比較公平。

經典對白：

Robert: Are you high?
Dale: What? No!
Shannon: You are high as a fucking kite!

***

Saul: This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed.
Dale: [smells the marijuana] Wow. This is the product of baby fucking.

***

Saul: Just sit back and get ready to enjoy some of the rarest weed known to mankind.
Dale: It's really that rare?
Saul: [exhales] It's, like, the rarest. It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn... with, like, a bomb.

Saul: BFFF?
Dale: Best Fuckin' Friends Forever, man!

Red: Do you know what today is?
Saul: Tuesday.

Red: No, because he died three months ago, okay? So now who's the funny guy?
Dale: I'm sorry?
Red: Today is his birthday and it is a tradition that on his birthday I get up extra early and make him his favorite kind of dessert.
Saul: Don't worry, bro. Your cat's going to heaven.
Red: Yeah, maybe. Maybe he went to heaven. He was a little fucker. He could've gone to hell.

Dale: I'm gonna get us out of here!
Saul: No, you're not. But it's okay.

***

Red: I'm trying to decide how stoned I am and just how on the verge of death am I right now. Like, am I seeing shit because I'm stone or because I have no blood left in my body.
Dale: Well, you've been shot like seven times.

***

Red: [Red regains consciousness after shortly passing out from his wounds] I'm like the nerd at the sleepover who fell asleep at nine.
Dale: It's okay. We won't put our dicks in your mouth.
